Custom overlay positioning - njthomson/SrvSurvey GitHub Wiki

As of build 1.1.0.13 it is possible to manually reposition any of the overlay windows in SrvSurvey by editing a settings file.

The file can be found at: %appdata%\SrvSurvey\SrvSurvey\1.1.0.0\plotters.json. Modifications will take effect in real time.

Note: All plotters can be disabled through various settings.

Overlays can be re-positioned relative to the edge of the game window: "<horizontal> , <vertical> , <opacity>".

Alternatively, use os to position any overlay relative to your OS desktop rather than the game window.

• Horizontal: [ left | center | right | os ] : < +/- pixels >
• Vertical: [ top | middle | bottom | os ] : < +/- pixels >

Negative numbers are supported and will result in overlays positioned outside of the game window.

It is also possible to override the opacity per overlay with a decimal number between 0 and 1. When not specified, standard opacity setting will be used:

• Opacity: < decimal number between 0 and 1 >

  Eg:

      "PlotGuardians": "left:8, middle:0, 1",
  "PlotGuardianStatus": "center:0, top:8, 0.5",
  

{
        "PlotBioStatus": "center:0, top:8",
    "PlotFlightWarning": "center:0, top:90",
              "PlotFSS": "center:0, top:8",
         "PlotGrounded": "right:20, middle:0",
        "PlotGuardians": "left:8, middle:0",
   "PlotGuardianStatus": "center:0, top:8",
   "PlotGuardianSystem": "left:10, top:8",
       "PlotPriorScans": "left:8, middle:0",
            "PlotPulse": "left:8, bottom:8",
           "PlotRamTah": "right:8, middle:0",
  "PlotSphericalSearch": "right:8, top:8",
        "PlotSysStatus": "left:8, bottom:44",
      "PlotTrackTarget": "center:440, top:20"
}

These are all the overlay windows and when they appear:

• PlotBioStatus Appears when near a planet with bio signals. Default location is center top.

  

• PlotFlightWarning Appears when near a planet with gravity higher than the setting. Default location is center top, below other center top overlays.

  

• PlotFSS When performing FSS of a system. Default location is center top.

  

• PlotGrounded Appears when at the surface of a planet with bio signals. A second overlay will appear when there are tracked locations. Default location is right middle.

  

• PlotGuardians Appears when within 4km of a Guardian Ruins or Structure. Default location is left middle.

  

• PlotGuardianStatus Appears when within 4km of a Guardian Ruins or Structure. Default location is center top.

  

• PlotGuardianSystem Appears when in a star system with Guardian Ruins or Structures. Default location is left top.

  

• PlotPriorScans Appears when near a planet where Canonn has data of bio signals. Default location is left middle.

  

• PlotPulse Appears the whole time SrvSurvey is running. Default location is left bottom.

  

• PlotRamTah Appears when within 4km of a Guardian Ruins or Structure if you have either Ram Tah mission active. Default location is right middle.

  

• PlotSphericalSearch Appears in the Galaxy Map if you have activated Spherical limit searches. Default location is top right

  

• PlotSysStatus Appears after "honking" a star system. Default location is left bottom.

  

• PlotTrackTarget Appears when near a planet if you have set target lat/long co-ordinates. Default location is left of center top.
